Was just watching an old Pointless we recorded and there was a round on football songs. One of the answers was "Aly's Tartan Army" from 1978, which used to have every club changing it to their own words during the FA Cup. I'm not sure it would work right now though.

"We're on the march with Graham's / Potter's Army"

People called Graham don't have an army and Potter's Army sounds like a J K Rowling reject.

"We're all going to Wemberley"

No we're not. Not till lockdown's over.

"And we'll really shake them up, when we win the FA Cup"

No, we won't. No one gives a shit anymore.

There must be loads of other examples? Over to you.....

Not so much a song as a chant granted - "Who's the w**ker in the black?" The refs these days seem to have a variety of coloured shirts, yellow, purple, green etc etc

I always think we should have a song to that tune.

Just look at how big 'Who's that man from Argentina?' was back in the day?

Anything insulting Palace, Steve Coppell, Scousers, Northerners, swearing etc.

It’s 2020 and just can’t do that sort of thing anymore
